ROCKBAND SE7-BD04 Stainless Steel Apple Watch Band Review (42/44/45/49mm)

For weeks, I’ve been testing the ROCKBAND SE7-BD04 stainless steel replacement band for my Apple Watch. Coming from a standard silicone band, I was curious to see how a metal band would change the feel and overall experience. This review will dive into the details of this black, medium/large band, covering its design, functionality, and long-term use.

The ROCKBAND SE7-BD04 immediately impressed me with its sleek design. The black stainless steel finish is elegant and feels premium in hand. The double button folding clasp is a standout feature. It’s secure and easy to use, far exceeding my expectations for a band in this price range. The links are well-constructed and articulate smoothly, allowing for a comfortable and customizable fit.

The band itself is surprisingly comfortable to wear, even during extended periods. I anticipated some stiffness or discomfort from the metal, but it molded to my wrist comfortably after a few days of wear.

In terms of durability, the ROCKBAND SE7-BD04 has held up remarkably well. I’ve worn it daily for several weeks, through workouts, showering (though I wouldn’t recommend submersion), and everyday activities. There are no visible scratches or signs of wear and tear, which is a testament to the quality of the stainless steel. The clasp remains secure, and the band hasn’t shown any signs of loosening or degradation.

The band adds a touch of weight to the watch, which some may find preferable for a more substantial feel. However, the weight is well-distributed, and I never felt it to be cumbersome or uncomfortable.

The band’s ease of cleaning is also a plus point. A simple wipe down with a slightly damp cloth keeps it looking pristine.

Pros

  • Elegant and sleek design
  • Durable stainless steel construction
  • Secure and easy-to-use double button folding clasp

  • Easy to clean

Overall, I’m very impressed with the ROCKBAND SE7-BD04 Stainless Steel Replacement Band. It’s a high-quality, durable, and stylish upgrade for your Apple Watch. The secure clasp, comfortable fit, and premium materials make it a worthwhile investment. While the weight might not suit everyone, and the color options are limited, the overall positive aspects greatly outweigh the drawbacks. I highly recommend the ROCKBAND SE7-BD04 to anyone looking for a stylish and reliable replacement band for their Apple Watch.
